(b) If your qualified ultra-deep well is a directional well (either an original well or a sidetrack) drilled across a lease line, then either: (1) The lease with the perforated interval that initially produces earns the RSV or (2) If the perforated interval crosses a lease line, the lease where the surface of the well is located earns the RSV. (c) Any RSV earned under § 203.31 is in addition to any royalty suspension supplement (RSS) for your lease under § 203.45 that results from a different wellbore. (d) If your lease earns an RSV under § 203.31 and later produces from a deep well that is not a qualified well, the RSV is not forfeited or terminated, but you may not apply the RSV earned under § 203.31 to production from the non-qualified well. (e) You owe minimum royalties or rentals in accordance with your lease terms notwithstanding any RSVs allowed under paragraphs (a) and (b) of § 203.31. (f) Unused RSVs transfer to a successor lessee and expire with the lease. ## Nearby sections - [30 C.F.R. § 203.30 (2026) § 203.30 Which leases are eligible for royalty relief as a result of drilling a phase 2 or phase 3 ultra-deep well?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_30.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.31 (2026) § 203.31 If I have a qualified phase 2 or qualified phase 3 ultra-deep well, what royalty relief would that well earn for my lease?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_31.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.32 (2026) § 203.32 What other requirements or restrictions apply to royalty relief for a qualified phase 2 or phase 3 ultra-deep well?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_32.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.33 (2026) § 203.33 To which production do I apply the RSV earned by qualified phase 2 and phase 3 ultra-deep wells on my lease or in my unit?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_33.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.34 (2026) § 203.34 To which production may an RSV earned by qualified phase 2 and phase 3 ultra-deep wells on my lease not be applied?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_34.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.35 (2026) § 203.35 What administrative steps must I take to use the RSV earned by a qualified phase 2 or phase 3 ultra-deep well?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_35.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.36 (2026) § 203.36 Do I keep royalty relief if prices rise significantly?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_36.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.40 (2026) § 203.40 Which leases are eligible for royalty relief as a result of drilling a deep well or a phase 1 ultra-deep well?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_40.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.41 (2026) § 203.41 If I have a qualified deep well or a qualified phase 1 ultra-deep well, what royalty relief would my lease earn?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_41.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.42 (2026) § 203.42 What conditions and limitations apply to royalty relief for deep wells and phase 1 ultra-deep wells?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_42.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.43 (2026) § 203.43 To which production do I apply the RSV earned from qualified deep wells or qualified phase 1 ultra-deep wells on my lease?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_43.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.44 (2026) § 203.44 What administrative steps must I take to use the royalty suspension volume?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_44.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.45 (2026) § 203.45 If I drill a certified unsuccessful well, what royalty relief will my lease earn?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_45.md) - [30 C.F.R. § 203.46 (2026) § 203.46 To which production do I apply the royalty suspension supplements from drilling one or two certified unsuccessful wells on my lease?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_46.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/CFR_T30_P203_S203_32.
